Cook Healthy And Eat Healthy

SCOTCH PLAINS – Vacation and barbecues can make eating healthy a challenge, but two programs in July at the RWJ Rahway Fitness & Wellness Center in Scotch Plains can help you stay on a healthy course.

On July 16, registered dietitian Stephanie Madeira shows you how to eat healthier while eating out. Madeira shares practical advice so you can enjoy food without feeling guilty. That program is at 11 a.m.

On July 21, chef and registered dietitian Diane Weeks shows you how to make the most of New Jersey’s fruits and vegetables in a cooking program starting at 7 p.m. Weeks has simple recipes that make vegetable and fruit dishes work as main dishes, sides or desserts. Recipes and samples are featured.

Both programs are free and open to the public. The RWJ Rahway Fitness & Wellness Center is located at 2120 Lamberts Mill Road, Scotch Plains. To register, call 732-499-6193. Visit www.rwjuhr.com and click Fitness Center for a calendar of events at the RWJ Rahway Fitness Center.
